The trip concluded with an enjoyable elephant ride back to the Namya village, where we began preparing for the exhausting journey back to Myitkyina. However, there was a cloud hanging over us - we were all well aware that soon we would have to embark on the much-dreaded journey back to Yangoon, where we would no doubt encounter numerous official road blocks, each with an officer demanding to see and collect a set of official documents from our guide, each around 150 pages deep. This is the price gemologists must pay to be the first to visit a new mining area.
